Post Adding a new background 
Hi I am no expert but I can normally get by setiing up templates to look very close to what I want them to look like, even if the way i do it isn't exacty the right way to do it.

What I wanted to do was add a new background that is 75% of the screen so I did what I would normally do is create a table background and then copy and paste the eliments that are in the header template but when I test it, the eliments are all out of shape even if I position the eliments in the there own cell in the table.

What do I do to solve the eliments from going out of shape ?

is this a css isue or is there a better way to do this ?

any help is very appreiated.

Patrick,
You need to create a header & footer template files for your store and place them in the 'html/html-templates/templates/Custom' directory.
Currently, the way you have it, when you go to the products, it defaults to the template selected in the Primary/Core Settings manager. Once you have your custom header & footer files uploaded to the server, you will need to select that the Custom template in the Primary/Core Settings manager.

HTH!
